January is National Human Trafficking Awareness month. An ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ client and survivor of human trafficking shares her story with us.

The Sayid family arrived in early fall 2021 to NYC from the base that temporarily housed evacuating families from Afghanistan. As a family of five, they were focused on resettling as soon as possible.

More important is the emotional process of resetting and finding comfort through a difficult transition.
